The Miami Marlins (62-60) visit the Cincinnati Reds (58-62) at Great American Ball Park on August 14, 2026, with both clubs looking to close out the summer on solid footing. Cincinnati has actually outslugged Miami on the season, going deep 158 times as a team while the Marlins have connected for 124 home runs, even though Miami’s .250 team average sits well ahead of Cincinnati’s .227 mark.
Otto Lopez has been Miami’s primary table-setter at shortstop, hitting .312 with 53 RBIs and nine home runs, and Elly De La Cruz answers for the Reds with a .268 average, a .349 on-base percentage and a .489 slugging mark of his own. Sal Stewart has out-homered every Miami hitter in this preview, going deep 26 times against Heriberto Hernandez’s team-high 17, and he’s driven in 89 runs from first base to boot. Miami trails its division leader by 11.5 games while Cincinnati trails its own leader by 16 games, and neither club has much room left to make a late push up the standings.

Players to Watch: Miami Marlins vs. Cincinnati Reds
Miami Marlins
Otto Lopez — SS. Lopez is hitting .312 with 53 RBIs and nine home runs, giving Miami a genuine table-setter and run producer in the same body at shortstop. His .344 on-base percentage and .460 slugging mark back up the average with real contact quality.
Heriberto Hernandez — LF. Hernandez has emerged as the Marlins’ primary power source in left field, socking 17 home runs and driving in 46 runs despite a .225 average. The gap between his power numbers and his batting average points to an all-or-nothing approach at the plate.
Xavier Edwards — 2B. At second base, Edwards owns a .362 on-base percentage, higher than Lopez’s .344 mark atop the same Miami lineup. He’s hitting .282 with 46 RBIs and six home runs, showing he can drive in runs without relying purely on power.
Cincinnati Reds
Elly De La Cruz — SS. De La Cruz gives Cincinnati a dynamic presence at shortstop, hitting .268 with a .349 on-base percentage and a .489 slugging mark. That combination of average and power makes him a fixture at the top of the Reds’ order.
Sal Stewart — 1B. Stewart’s 26 home runs pace all Cincinnati hitters in this preview, four more than teammate JJ Bleday’s 20, and he’s driven in 89 runs from first base. His .259 average shows he isn’t just a one-dimensional slugger either.
JJ Bleday — LF. Bleday has provided a second layer of thump for Cincinnati, launching 20 home runs and driving in 47 runs out of left field. His .332 on-base percentage and .445 slugging mark give the Reds another extra-base threat behind Stewart.
